Angel invited Babaya and the others to discuss the high magic zone, so they could practice their magic and record their progress.
He didn’t reveal the full truth about the high magic zone but did mention that virtual magic power wouldn’t affect their real training. However, it would help them gain more experience in constructing magic models.
He speculated that after spending time there, they might start making guesses about the Wilderness of Dreams upon returning to reality. Regardless of their conjectures, it wouldn’t significantly affect Angel.
“This is a benefit I’m offering for your stay here,” Angel said. “You can come and train anytime between missions.”
“As for what magic you want to practice here, that’s up to you. If you want to learn —Karn’s Blood Magic— or —Basic Tricks.Revised—, you can request them from Freud, as I promised as a reward for your missions.”
After addressing Babaya and Kudou, Angel turned to Baruba: “You can also train here during this period. Don’t worry about falling behind; a similar high magic zone will be set up in the new city once the construction mission starts.”
The three thanked Angel, more out of politeness than understanding. They were yet unaware of the significant impact the high magic zone might have on their future, potentially altering their paths entirely.
After bidding farewell, Angel and Sanders returned to Initial Heart City from the experimental field outside.
They chose the Treehouse Bar again and discussed advancing virtual magic power and some topics related to the open beta test of the Wilderness of Dreams.
Currently, virtual magic only allows wizards to cast 0 and first level tricks. To advance, they must increase their overall magic power level.
Angel, though capable of controlling the Power Level Restriction, had limited understanding of energy, so the task of enhancing power levels had to be delegated to Sanders.
Sanders provided an answer much quicker than Angel had anticipated.
According to Sanders, by the time the Star Observing Exchange Meeting concluded, one should be able to elevate to a second level apprentice’s magic power level, capable of casting spells up to second level and pseudo third level.
“In the early stages, power levels can be rapidly increased as it only involves augmenting the quantity. The difference between first and second level is minor, similar to replacing a cup of water with a bucket, a task that can be accomplished in one or two weeks. However, according to my current plan, elevating from a second level apprentice to a third level will not only increase the volume but is like replacing a bucket with a reservoir, which might take a month or two to achieve.”
“As for advancing from an apprentice to a formal wizard, that’s a transition from quantitative to qualitative change. It will undoubtedly require seeking new energy metrics, and I can’t estimate how long it might take, perhaps months, years, or even longer.”
Angel could see this too. For instance, the current Wilderness of Dreams is somewhat similar to a nascent, low-magic world just stepping into a transcendent society. When the power level limit reaches a formal wizard level, the low-magic world begins to transition into a mid-magic world.
While this is merely an analogy, as the Wilderness of Dreams is not inherently a low-magic world, it’s evident that an entire world’s leap in power levels is far from simple.
Thus, transitioning from quantitative to qualitative change will undoubtedly be a significant hurdle.
However, Angel believed that no matter how large the hurdle, it would eventually be overcome. Because in this battlefield of power level transition, he was not alone.
“To fully bring the strength of a formal wizard into the Wilderness of Dreams is still a bit far off now, it can be put aside for the time being. For now, set a short-term goal, before the tea party arrives, I will try my best to reach the level of a third level apprentice in the Wilderness of Dreams,” Sanders said indifferently, after all, he sees the tea party as a turning point for the Wilderness of Dreams. So, if you can raise the energy level limit as much as possible, then do so, it’s ultimately not a bad thing.
Angel also nodded in agreement, since it has been decided to conduct a small-scale external test at the tea party, it’s best to do it as perfectly as possible.
Of course, even if this goal is not achieved, it doesn’t matter. Because in Angel’s view, the unique features of the Wilderness of Dreams are already very powerful, enough to deal with the picky witches at the tea party.
After discussing the general situation of the energy level limit, they talked about other issues, one of which is worth mentioning is that they made a decision——
After the end of the Star Observing Day, they will choose a day to tell Lord Rhine about the Wilderness of Dreams.
This isn’t really a consensus, they had already decided to tell Lord Rhine in the near future, with Lord Rhine’s support, the Wilderness of Dreams will develop at a very fast pace, definitely not something they can match with their small efforts, after all, Lord Rhine represents the endless heritage of the Savage Grottoes.
However, they definitely have to tell, but what pretext to use and how much to tell, that still needs to be weighed.
In the next few days, Angel will come up with a charter.
After finishing these formal topics, they also talked about things in the real world, such as the prophecy of the Star Observing Day, and the situation of the ruins…
During the discussion, a small incident occurred.
Toby, who had been wandering in the Wilderness of Dreams for over half a month, sensed Angel and hurriedly ran to the Treehouse Bar to stick around him for a while.
Before Angel could ask how Toby had been spending his time, Toby, without looking back, flew towards the south of the city.
Watching Toby’s fleeting figure, Angel was stunned for a moment, then used the godly perspective to discover that Toby had flown to the southern Stone Pillar Coliseum.
“Tulas, once in battle mode, disregards public facilities, and Sharu, to avoid more buildings being damaged, agreed to duel at the Stone Pillar Coliseum. Now, it’s quite lively there, with many people rushing to watch.” Angel glanced and laughed: “However, Toby didn’t run there to enjoy the spectacle; rather, Raphaella is singing there… I wonder what this is about, having an opera singer enliven the atmosphere before the battle?”
Besides being a foodie, Toby’s greatest passion is music. Even though he’s tone-deaf, his love for music has never waned.
The two individuals Toby respects the most in the entire Wilderness of Dreams are Jon and Raphaella. Jon’s piano immerses Toby, while Raphaella’s voice, as if a divine chant, completely conquers him. Toby always attends Raphaella’s performances, and now, sensing her singing, he disregarded even Angel, his little master, and ran to the Stone Pillar Coliseum as if flying like a shooting star.
Although a bit jealous, Angel is quite happy that Toby has found joy here.
Because of Toby’s little incident, Angel suddenly remembers something.
“Right, I promised Gloria earlier that I would give her an answer. When should we tell her about the situation in the Wilderness of Dreams?”
